As with previous games in the series, an emphasis has been placed on the
realism of the handling model. Everything from suspension stiffness to
brake distribution and maximum steering angles can be edited to suit
both your driving style and the kinds of conditions you can expect in
your next race. To the game's credit, adjusting these variables has
noticeable effects and makes them something worth fiddling with for
racing game veterans. Changing the suspension stiffness to hard, for
example, allows you to navigate level surfaces much faster at a cost of
significantly reduced stability when things get bumpy.
On a less positive note, no matter what you do, all of the game's cars
have a lightweight, feeble feel to them. No amount of tinkering with the
front and rear differentials or traction distribution can completely
remove the sensation that you're controlling a high-powered hovercraft,
rather than a loud, mean, aggressive rally car. The issue is not so bad
when driving the game's lower-powered cars, but it's especially
pronounced as soon as you step into an official WRC vehicle. And while
you can certainly work your way around tracks with practice--the
lightweight feel allowing for precision driving as you throw cars into
hairpins and through technical sections of fast chicanes--the handling
doesn't quite live up to its uber-realistic billing.
The best way to test the handling model is in Road to Glory mode, a streamlined version of WRC 2's Road to the WRC that does away with the likes of sponsorship negotiations and staff hiring. As it should be, the focus of Road to Glory is getting behind the wheel and proving yourself a worthy competitor at the top level. Events are spread across seven geographical areas, such as Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific, each with its own resident star driver acting as what is essentially an end-of-level boss. Beating all seven stars unlocks the Ultimate Battle, a final event that has you racing against all of them at once in a final showdown. Throw in a mix of traditional rally events, novelty distraction events, and a simple car modification system, and there's just enough to keep you interested.
Different Road to Glory events have different rules about what type of car you're allowed to use, meaning that current WRC cars, as well as classics from the '70s through to the '90s and smaller 2WDs, must all be mastered. And that's part of the problem; you simply don't spend enough time in a specific car for you to fall in love with it. Falling in love with cars, getting to know their handling and tuning options, and thus enjoying greater success in races are essential ingredients in any racing game that considers itself a simulation--they're invaluable.
Combined with the constantly changing vehicles is a default difficulty curve that resembles a cliff. This is great once you grasp the mechanics, but it can be incredibly frustrating early on. Without exaggeration, a single botched corner adds enough time to send you plummeting from first to seventh: great for veterans who want a challenge; less great for newcomers who just want to get around the track in one piece. And given some of the event types on offer in Road to Glory, newcomers are clearly one of the target audiences.
